Wine gums, commonly known as gummies, are chewy, firm pastille-type sweets originating from the United Kingdom.

Wine gums are popular in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, South Africa and many Commonwealth nations, as well as several European countries.

The gums usually come in five shapes: kidney, crown, rhombus, circle and oblong, and are usually labelled with the name of a wine; for example, Maynards use port, sherry, champagne, burgundy and claret.

[1] Despite the name, they usually contain no alcohol, and depending on local laws or manufacturer's practices, packages may bear a specific statement that the sweets "contain no wine".

Charles Riley Maynard started his business in 1880 by producing confections in a kitchen with his brother Tom in Stamford Hill, London, while his wife Sarah Ann served the customers.
